Police found the dog with no food and little water at an East Lake Community home. Police say 23-year-old Shawna Beale and 32-year-old Richard Tillett Jr. had moved out of the home at least three weeks earlier, apparently leaving the dog behind.
Authorities say the dog was taken to a veterinarian for a necropsy and it was determined the most likely cause of death was starvation.
Beale and Tillett were both released on bond.
